Sad loss of a very interesting guy - producing Duane Eddy and writing "Boots" alone would give him a major place in pop history.
Some interesting links here - especially the radio interview.

Made a couple of decent tracks with Nancy Sinatra, produced Something Stupid for N & F Sinatra, never realised the Duane Eddy influence though Nick, so thanks for that

Yeah, an amazing weirdo and cool songwriter..."Some velvet morning when I'm straight", indeed...
Just imagine the awkward vibe when Nancy brought Lee home to meet Frank...

"Some velvet morning when I'm straight",
Yeah, that was a strange one, especially when you were about 11. I knew something was up but didn't know what, Mr Jones.

First Lp I bought was Duane Eddy's Have Twangy Guitar Will Travel. Lee xo-wrote most of the songs on the Lp including Rebel-Rouser. This Lp was the forerunner of what five years later, was to become surf music. Our band covers one of the tunes "Moovin N Groovin" off this Lp which the opening guitar figure was later put to good use by The Beach Boys on "Surfin USA" Lee also wrote the classic surf song "Baja"..."some velvet morning when I'm straight"...R.I.P.
